As always you bring great clarity to this board for which I am indebted.
I really think some investors might step back a bit and allow that those in positions of command deserve every right to self manage their finances as befits their own interests. I know I do it and see no reason for others to be less deserving of the freedom.
Avita holds such incredible potential, something most of us know or we'd not be here, right? I've got a major tax bite coming along next month and I, too, will have to let go of cash. As it happens, I've got it set aside already so I won't have to tap into my RCEL share position. But I'm not running a publicly traded company and that means I've got time at hand to preplan things. DR. Perry has an enormously large and complicated schedule to deal with and I can't understand how anybody could find fault with Avita's outcome over the past couple of years.
It seems to me that a lot of investors could try harder to invest with fewer judgmental antics and, instead, focus on forward strides taken and newly proved worthy of our investments. Some, no doubt, continue to await those elusive $15 shares. Not to suggest we won't experience slides in the future for we surely will. But I wouldn't go so far as to suggest I'll feel sold out or a victim of a dump. No, I'm as happy as could be with the life I have as it stands. And as so long as I can remain standing in my life as opposed to assuming a horizontal position, I have nothing at all to point an accusatory finger at.
It's a beautiful day here in Texas pre-hurricane. Let's all enjoy it!
Your graphs clarify things for some, no doubt, as the ascending lines paint things perfectly.
There are several "layers" here, ample for most investor sentiments. There's the momentum side, of course, as we witness from a recent stride upwards in share price. Then there's high praises such as comes from Zack's Advisory service which many will subscribe to. I am not one to follow Zack's, however. Then there's the value side of the market which recognizes the importance of cuddling up to and with essential commodities, copper certainly a headlining qualifier. And lastly---it's hard to ignore opportunity for nearly immediate gratification such as is what happens when we traders grab onto a comet's tail for the breathtaking ride upwards. This appears to be such an opportunity.
If I've left something out, please chime in and correct me!
Good luck to all.
Ameritrade shows 758,824 which is somewhat better still.
Like you, I'm also impressed. It's altogether possible that we are on the leading edge of a wave of the market re-evaluating Avita's market potential. If so, I could believe we're on the path towards the mid-$30's/share. Much will become clearer Monday and Tuesday, I suspect. If volume remains unusually high, I'll be adding shares while thinking near to mid-term swing trading opportunity. A pullback to the $25.50 range will cement my resolve to scoop up more shares.
Good fortune to all.
Key to survival in the stock market is invariably choice-making.
Prosperity comes to those capable of identifying the most important bits of information which knit together in such a way as to draw clear paths towards increasing wealth potentiality.
Discussion of DR. Perry's decision to sell shares strikes me as inappropriate. It had to have been his decision. He made it. I fail to see that he is obligated in any way to hold onto every share he holds. He owes me nothing. And I certainly don't interpret his selling shares as detrimental to the company. Part of the doctor's compensation is tied into the receipt of shares. He has expenses too, same as the rest of us. I sold 2,500 shares of RCEL myself this week. Does that make me disloyal? And I repurchased all but 900 of those shares, does that make me smarter? Stupider?
Truth be told, I needed to raise money to support another key holding. I also wished to drop my RCEL cost basis. I accomplished both end points and never tapped into my core position of Avita, only my trading share allotment.
Every week I record Friday's closing numbers for key portfolio holdings and note herein that over the past trading week Avita/RCEL gained $2.48 per share. Translation: Shares gained 9.4%. For me it's a gain of $41,000.
I do not believe that disclosure of our CEO's sale of shares compromises my portfolio health. And I refuse to become swept up in such micromanagerial tactics that surely will not advance any meaningful thesis whatsoever.
Let's face it, folks---we are doing incredibly well! The reverse split has obviously opened the doors to institutional concerns formerly prohibited from such due to bylaw restrictions of theirs. This must explain part of the surging trading volumetrics we are now witnessing.
I can only think that people complaining about the good doctor must be dissatisfied with their own portfolio progress or lack thereof and wish to blame another.
Different strokes for different blokes, they say.....
Agree
Be kind. Copper is at $3.06 after being in the $2.35 range several months ago.
Also, this morning Zacks Advisory service put out a Buy rating on Taseko. While I never do as Zacks advises, many.others do.
You said you'd be researching EDP. I think you meant EPD .
I was hoping to help you avoid needless work.
EPD.
You might not wish to own EDP as it's a grey market stock.
We closed on Friday a week ago at $1.51.
And now with a couple of hours to go on another Friday, we are at $1.85. It's a gain of 34 cents for a percentile gain of 22.5%. While I'm ahead ever so slightly, I'm here for the long haul as I expect is the case for a growing number of investors here.
Even if we see much of the week's gain burn off as we head into the day's close, I'm confident we'll all feel amply rewarded for having remained longs in VYNE. Day traders will have their due and frankly their presence provides us with static enabling us longs to continue building positions destined to eventually become profitable.
So I hope this will reassure some. We are doing great! The company is looking better and better all the time with two FDA approvals on the board, the second of which will be launching commercially next month or thereabouts, a third is up for FDA review early in Q1 of 2021---and very exciting---as our country continues to reopen, things are looking better for us all the time.
There's plenty to appreciate. I hope nobody loses sight of our good fortune!
This is a ruse.
The company does not build. It claims it can pour concrete into molds but this has yet to be substantiated. They have no need of a draft person with computer skills.
For years this outfit has suckered people with lies and hype.
Scarfing up units at $16.67 although the temperatures here in the Rio Grande Valley have been in the high 90's of late. No scarves necessary.
But the opportunity is beautiful and I've got to trust my instincts.
This is the perfect storm for the value side of this poster.
No, I don't agree.
There may be little positivity to support reinvestment right now but that doesn't present the whole thing. And it doesn't speak for the future. Things may eventually gel resulting in fresh investment opportunity .
As I've said before, I'm waiting for 75 cents.
Beautiful and eloquent as usual coming from you!
Thank you pete807.
Now up to 1,144 units and put $5K into my trading account. It's waiting for units to drop back beneath $17. I expect it will soon occur and I know this is the time to be waiting patiently.
I'm so glad to be back on board---both owning this great company and also here sharing issues of mutual concern on this message board.
Looking forward....
Prolly so.
Oh, I know that well, rest assured.
I've been at this too long to not have learned a few things along the way.
As I often tell my wife, "I may be stoopit but I ain't gotta be dumb."
Learning all the time....
Len
How kind of you to post this!
Thank you so much.
I'm a math guy at heart, and have been coming up with reasonable cipherings. But it's always helpful to find others I respect chiming in, sometimes with better and/or more reliable approaches.
Enjoying.
Len
P.S. When I earlier mentioned that I saw a disconnect, I should have pointed out that when we delight in a large gain in U.S. pricing, I don't often see it reflected Down Under. I don't understand that. But you're right about prices there and here are in balance.
Hey, man---I'm ahead $71.44 with EPD already!
Kidding aside, it's just 1,144 units so I've got more dirt to disk before I'm comfortably furrowed and seeded. But I'm determined to remain patient being of the belief that lower prices will pop up every now and then.
My roots are in o & g dating back to 1993. At the time, Texas was in the process of deregulating the energy sector. I saw opportunity and did a vulture thing. Made out well enough to unwind a bipolar marriage, survive five years of blindness, the loss of both elderly parents and more. Talk about luck? I was blessed through and through---good and bad, perhaps, but with enough opportunity to hang onto hardship profitably.
So now as I restart my ways of old, I'm pleased to find happiness once again in the oil and gas patch. It just feels right for me, so comfortable in many ways.
Rarely will I get heavily involved in an energy play that I've not personally tracked for a long time. So I will look at your list more carefully and I thank you for posting the info. It's highly unlikely I'll pick up another play, however, until I'm satisfied that I've secured a nice enuff position in EPD.
Looking forward to more fine exchanges!
Len
Now down $8K for me.
For a moment this morning I was actually at break-even. Now, though, I'm underwater $1,700. Less than two weeks ago I was in the red to the tune of more than $60,000 so I'm certainly not about to complain. lol
Exciting journey and rainbow's end is nearer all the time.
It's great hearing from you!
I did an ACH this morning in the amount of $5,000. Hoping to continue adding EPD but I refuse to pay more than my cost basis which is currently $16.95 on 1,144 units. I'm so certain we're dramatically undervalued thatI'm finding it difficult to hold back. But I'm determined to do so.
I've "worked" EPD before and always make out handsomely. I'm supremely confident.
My best to you and this board, and especially good guy pete807 who is as steady as they go.
For what it's worth, I'm thinking we'll trade at $23 to $25 something in the coming months. Covid-19 and politics may hold things back for now but these, too, shall pass. Meanwhile, I like receiving a quarterly allowance along with the enormous size of this MLP.
A toast, then---to EPD and all of us smart enough and fortunate in being in position to invest.
Let's hope your investment works out for you!
I saw a person taking five shots all at once. Also his/her opening volley here at IHUB. And taking a decidedly pro stance at a time most board members are bagholders. My response was reasonable.
I myself bought 32,000 shares at 26 cents and made $68,000 in profits. I'm waiting to see shares drop back to $0.75 at which time I will repurchase shares.
Would you explain the formula, please?
I see a factor of 3.67 coming into play but not sure how it will hold up against time testing.
Thanks.
Some here have been maintaining there's a distinct disconnect between AVH trading in Australia and RCEL here in the States.
I'm in that camp too. Healthy rise today yet trading red down under so far. Similar . differences yesterday and some days before.
Too bad. It was always exciting watching at night and then. dreaming of sugar plum RCEL shares the next day.
Maybe Christmas will arrive after all . In September ?
Lol
Beautiful news!
Thank you for your diligence. I'm sure most longs here appreciate it.
People are crazy to sell so cheaply but I realize it could be necessary to keep food on the table.
I've been adding at $16.83 and thereabouts.
Verrry pleased.
Thank you for going the extra mile. Much appreciated.
I'm seeing at least $8/share within a year if not sooner. I'll be happy when we reach that.
Will do.
Thanks for the heads up .
No numerical target points?
There's gotta be much, much more to this before I can see value.
I don't wear hats because I live in a Texas desert and it's too hot but I'd eat my hat if we don't reach above $8 within a year.
Wonderful, so pleased that you've shown us something vital to all of us, I suspect.
Thank you.
Len
Were talking about two addressable markets yet there's an enormous chasm separating them.
Burns bring infection, scaring, loss of limb and even death to say nothing of loss of income during treatment.
Vitiligo-related pain is largely emotional.
Something I've pondered has to do with insurance coverage relating to vitiligo treatment . I know people with the disorder. No physical pain but they view it as shaming.
I want to know more and would greatly appreciate input from all here!.
I want to remind everybody that this important board started because of your discovery of Avita. Others have come along in search of a piece of the spotlight but you occupy a very special place in my investment thesis for it is you who first recognized opportunity we now embrace.
You are certainly deserving of special respect.
I personally thank you for sharing your vision and guiding us to dream your dream.
Beautiful! Thank you.
If you wouldn't mind a bit more, I wonder if you might share the nature of your involvement with kids?
We could all use inspiration and I have a hunch you've got a couple of cards up your sleeve that would boost confidence.
If you're open to it, have at it.
TIA
I think it's 2%.
I know you're right.
Now, that doesn't mean we won't give a bit back during AH, but day traders have to make a living too.
You've got a fine position but you know something? ANY POSITION IS
FINE!
Now, there are some situations where size does matter but this is not one of them. We go with whut we gotzes and we ride off into the sunset wid it.
You're doing just great, making the most of all that you can.
Hilarious!
Thank you, thank you!
MR. Spock (lol), I'm a long time trekkie and I am so pleased to hear from you on these two favorite picks of ours.
Long assailed as being a space cadet because of my undying faith in the companies at hand, I'm a believer in any technology bringing relief to fellow humans. And while money isn't an immediate concern for the wife and me, our dogs, donkeys, goats and ponies---we are all one large family on Earth, be we strangers or otherwise. And towards that realization do I post and invest and appreciate participation such as yours.
VYNE---I hate to say it but I do think we might go well past $10/share. It may take a half year or even longer, depending largely on pandemic-related movement. But I do remain convinced that given time, sufferers will eventually come to their senses and come out from behind their masks to more fully participate in all that life has to offer us.
Not much more than a week ago I added 6,000 shares of VYNE, myself. I paid $1.35 as I recall. The money gained isn't a big deal but sensing that a big move was about to occur is always a big deal for it reveals the most meaningful path just ahead.
So today I'm a happy camper for sure. I love seeing people prosper, especially during the worst of times such as the pandemic and political issues abound.
RCEL---it's really just a matter of time before people know about it. I introduced both of these companies to the head nurse for Comfort Medical, a division of Coloplast, world leader in urostomy supplies for post-cancer surgery patients. She'd not heard of either of our pet stocks. She is very excited. She'd not heard of either company priorly.
Again, thank you for speaking up. You've made me feel awfully good!
Dang!
I'm excited and I can't hold back!
We are up so strongly today. It's not surprising to me as I've been convinced this company's stock has been compressed, unreasonably so at that. The pandemic has certainly taken a toll but perhaps in some strange ways...
Masking provides ready access to hiding skin blemishes often shaming the sufferer. Now, as our country pushes along on the road to reopening, I expect acne victims will once again tend to their dilemmas with greater concern and care.
This strikes me as entirely reasonable in terms of expectations.
I think that today's corporate announcement regarding the addition of Director LePore along with commentary on the soon-to-be launch of our rosacea drug Zilxi has people on the edge of their seats in eager anticipation of increasing market valuation.
To be upfront, I'm sufficiently secure financially such that I'm not holding onto my shares with baited breath. At the same time, I want to see friends and strangers alike in position to benefit from the beauty of our drugs. Living very near the Texas-Mexico border as I do, I regularly witness many who suffer from acute dermatological disorders that may be addressable with our new drugs. For their sake I hope relief is quickly and painlessly found.
There can be little doubt but that today's large rise comes on the heels of today's announcement of a new Director coming on board as long with a reminder that Zilxi, our recently FDA approved drug addressing rosacea is about to begin its commercial launch bbn in Q4 of 2020.
This is a very exciting time for our company despite the effects of the pandemic.
Times as must we!
Incredible---we're takng off towards the moon and nobody sees fit to say, "Yippee?"
Today it was announced that VYNE has appointed a new director to the Board. A finely credential gentleman with historically significant proofs of superior vision. We're talking about building a 2 billion $ company, selling i9t, and as Chairman---bringing it to again being sold but this time for $6,000,000,000!?!?!?!?
This is, in my opinion, why our company brought him on at a time we're about to launch our second drug commercialization.
A strong, man, great credentials and background, and obviously right for the job of helping make VYNE Pharmaceuticals into a world-leader.
C'mon, folks---let's hear it!
I'm holding 156,000 shares at present and while I'm somewhat underwater, it's not going to be for long, I'm positive.
Let's hear it, now:
"Yiiipppppeee!!!!!"
